A method for producing containers (10) filled with liquid, more particularly drinks containers, wherein plastic preforms are shaped into plastic containers (10) by means of a shaping device (2), these plastic containers are transported to a filling device (4) and are filled with a liquid by means of this filling device, wherein, on their transport path between the shaping device (2) and the filling device (4) the containers (10) are cooled, at least partly, by being charged with a liquid medium. According to the invention the containers are transported, at least during filling, within a clean room (20) which is delimited from an environment by means of a sealing device (62).

A work station (40) for a packaging line having an apparatus (4) for executing a simultaneous action on packages (10) of an alignment of packages with a tool (46); and a transfer mechanism (31) for the simultaneous transport of an alignment of packages to be processed (10b) to the apparatus (4) and of an alignment of processed packages (10c) from the apparatus (4). The alignments are arranged parallel to each other and the transport direction of the packages are perpendicular to the alignments, the transfer mechanism (31) thus having a first and a second transport group (31a, 31b), one of which hangs from two movable parts (60) of the transfer mechanism (31) which are movable on respective parallel planes of movement and which do not interfere with the vertical projection of the tool (46). A packaging line (101, 102, 103) with modular construction having such work stations.

A vacuum sealing system includes a vacuum pump, a lower tool to hold one or more trays carrying product, an upper tool to seal a plastic film onto the one or more trays, the upper tool including at least one seal plate with a seal plate cavity and a vacuum clamp, the system also including a controller to control the vacuum pump, the lower tool, and the upper tool.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for storing perishable items under reduced pressure conditions. Total atmospheric pressure within a vacuum chamber containing a perishable item is reduced below a total pressure limit. Oxygen partial pressure and total pressure within the vacuum chamber are monitored. When oxygen partial pressure falls below a lower oxygen partial pressure limit, an oxygen-containing gas is admitted to raise oxygen partial pressure above the lower oxygen partial pressure limit. When the total atmospheric pressure reaches or exceeds the total pressure limit, total pressure is once again reduced. The vacuum container or chamber comprises a section of cylindrical pipe open at both ends, a first end cap and a second end cap, and formed of a plastic material. Notwithstanding that the pipe and end caps are formed of plastic, they are formed with a structure capable of withstanding pressure created by a high vacuum in the vacuum container.

The present disclosure concerns a capsule for beverages (300) comprising a body having a head portion (302) and a bottom portion (301) and suitable for defining a cavity (300c) configured for containing, in use, a fluid and/or a gas; the capsule for beverages comprises an orifice (306) configured for allowing the release of said fluid and/or gas from the cavity. A seal (305) is movable between at least a first position suitable for determining a closing of the orifice (306) configuring the capsule for beverages (300) in a closed operating configuration, and a second position suitable for determining an opening of the orifice (306) configuring the capsule for beverages (300) in an open operating configuration. The disclosure concerns a machine for filling capsules for beverages, comprising: at least a seat (200, 200) configured for housing at least a capsule for beverage (300), to fill with a gas and/or with a fluid solution, in particular with a mineralized solution; at least an injection system (201, 400, 401, 402) configured for operatively coupling with said capsule (300) and for supplying in pressurized way, in use, said gas and/or said fluid solution, in particular said mineralized solution, within the capsule (300); wherein the machine comprises at least an operating configuration of capsules filling, within which the seat (200, 200) and/or the injection system (201, 400, 401, 402) are placed under pressure in order to determine a transfer of said gas and/or said fluid solution within the capsule (300).

A method for treating a skin condition in a human patient. The method includes applying, to one or more affected areas of the human patient's skin, a naringenin formulation having an amount of naringenin effective to reduce or inhibit inflammatory processes.

A pressurized container usable for an aerosol dispenser. The container is charged with propellant. The container may be conveniently shipped, for later product filling and/or decoration. By manufacturing the subcombination at a first location, and shipping sealed to a second location, flexible manufacture can be achieved. The second location can add locally popular product and decoration.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing and filling a package with a powdered nutritional product, such as infant nutrition or milk formula, the method comprising providing a thermoformed tub having sidewalls and a base defining a product receiving space, filling the product receiving space with the powdered nutritional product, and sealing a membrane across an open mouth of the tub to seal the product therein; and folding a carton blank with a plurality of panels around the filled tub to form a carton sleeve, wherein the carton sleeve comprises a peripheral wall enclosing at least the sidewalls of the tub.

The invention also relates to a package for such a powdered nutritional product manufactured according to this method.

Methods, apparatus, and system to measure and control respiration of a perishable commodity in a vacuum chamber, including for purposes of extending a shelf life of a perishable commodity therein, including.

In a structure such as a liquid ejecting head configured to cover an opening of a base with a covering member, the present invention alleviates the generation of a warp on the structure or the base even if the covering member is hardened and shrunk. The structure includes the base and the covering member attached onto the base. A manufacturing method for the structure includes: a first step of attaching the covering member having flexibility onto the base in such a manner as to cover an opening of the hole formed at the base and a second step of hardening the covering member attached onto the base. In the first step, the covering member is attached onto the base in a state in which a non-stuck portion of the covering member, covering the opening of the base, is slack.
